International Student Essentials Kit: What’s Included?
Starting College Abroad? We’ve Got You Covered
Moving to another country to study is exciting, but let’s be honest, it can also be overwhelming. From figuring out what to pack to adjusting to a new culture, you have a lot on your plate.
That’s why we created our International Student Essentials Kit: a ready-to-go solution designed specifically for students like you who are heading to the U.S. and want to feel comfortable and prepared from day one.
No more overpacking. No more spending hours shopping for basic dorm items and figuring out what the difference is between Twin and Twin XL. Just what you need, when you need it, and delivered straight to your student housing.
🧳 What’s Inside the Essentials Kit?
Our kit includes dorm must-haves so you can skip the store runs and start settling in. Each item was carefully selected based on what international students say they bought.
🛏️ Bedding Basics (All-in-One Dorm Comfort)
1 Duvet Insert (lightweight, breathable, easy to wash)
2 Duvet Covers (rotatable for easy laundry)
2 Pillows + 4 Pillowcases
2 Fitted Sheet Sets
Why it matters: Most U.S. dorms have Twin XL beds, and apartments have Full or Queen beds, sizes that are nearly impossible to find abroad. So we save you the hassle and the baggage space.
🛁 Bathroom Essentials
2 Bath Towels
2 Hand Towels
2 Bath Mats
Why it matters: You’ll need more than one towel set for laundry days, and bath mats are rarely provided in dorms, but necessary!
🎒 Bonus Comfort + Convenience Add-Ons
Depending on your package or location, you can also add:
Hangers
A mattress protector
Extra pillows
Power strip (U.S.-compatible voltage)
These extras help you stay organized and cozy, especially in small spaces.
